What common phrases just get on your nerves due to overuse?

It's gotta be "Life's too short..." for me. As if we don't already get enough lessons on life to need some smart-alec-Joe from down the street telling us about it... Whenever I hear it, I just tend to disregard everything that person says because of it. It's just boring and irritating. >.> Your turn!

"A picture is worth a thousand words" In my required writing class, we focused on visual rhetoric's for the most part. In our first paper at least more than half of us started or incorporated "a picture is worth a thousand words" in our essay. So my professor banned the cliche and others.

You may be tired of hearing that but it's so true, time does pass, I'm miss school and I'm only 17! It feels ages since I left over a year ago. But yeah, I'm gonna do everything I would love to do in life because you can easily be distracted from these things and then by the time you realise, it's too late.

I hate this too. To me, pictures are worth nothing without context. If I took a picture of a politician sneezing they'd look silly. I could put this in a newspaper to demean them, even if was a true legend like Ron Paul.

"thats what she said!" - i hate it when people say it every time after someone else says anything at all. it can be funny if ive never heard you say it in your life then you just say it randomly. but more than once from any one person is just annoying.

"wow..." - this was a somewhat original response like 3 years ago but now i hear it at least 10 times in every conversation.

Give it some thought... it is true that life's too short to bother ourselves with stupidities. No time to waste!

That is also true... people always envy what other people have wether it's lots of free time, that bigscreen TV or the hot wife... but they forget about what THEY have that the neighbor doesn't have.

I hated that "Face your fears, live your dreams" Motivational poster that the old surf clothing company 'No Fear' used to use all the time. Face your fears, live your nightmares more like. I've got vertigo for some reason, I have trouble going down escalator stairs! Why should I go abseiling? Who seriously gives a **** about facing their fears? Because it makes us feel alive and turns us into some kind of radical dude?

I preferred their other one "Does not play well with others". I'll have that tattooed to my face!
